What you need is cut. "grep" only gives you the lines you are interested in, cut gives you the part you need to kill the process. Look at the output of "ps -ef", you see a table. To kill a process you need the PID, which is the 2nd column. Therefore, the solution is to first cut out all lines you don't need (processes you don't want to kill), then filter out the PIDs of the remaining lines, then feed this list to a for- or while-loop to do the killing:
ps -ef | grep <processname> | sed 's/<blank><blank>*/<blank>/g' | cut -d'<blank>' -f2 |\
while read PID ; do
kill -9 $PID
done
The sed-command is used to replace all multiple occurencies of <blank> (replace in your script by a single space) by a single whitespace since 'cut' uses <blank> as a delimiter (-d).
Hope this helps.
